Black knives matter

These Cold Steel Recon 1 series knives impressed me a lot, especially for their sub-$100 price. Made in Taiwan, though. Still, very well made with S35VN blades and razor-sharp out of the box -- maybe the sharpest new knives I've purchased.
The photo doesn't do them justice -- they look "cheap" to me in the photo, but they are actually quite nice. What looks like black paint on the blades is actually extremely durable tungsten DLC (diamond-like coating).

I have a nice assortment of Benchmade folders that tend to be my back-pocket EDC blades (a traditional in the front pocket). Also have some black Spyderco knives, but I don't have photos of any of those. I'll have to get them together for some "family" photos.

How about some Emersons? I love the Wave Opening feature. They are easier and faster to deploy than an automatic knife, as well as being well-made of quality materials.
Oops... one non-black-colored one snuck in...

Top to bottom: CQC-7V, Mini-CQC-8 ("Horseman"), Roadhouse, Commander. Ugly but functional!

Looking back over the whole page, I am impressed with the variety and beauty and usefulness of these black knives.

I see this post is a bit older but I must say you have some really sweet knives in it QS!
I especially like the S&M and the M&G knives! Super looking knives!

Got this Richards Sheffield England knife a week or two ago. Didn't really know where to post it. Kinda like a Loomfixer but it's smaller than a Loomfixer as I was told so I guess it's a Sway Back Jack.
Whatever it is, it's in good condition and it has slick black composition handles on it.
Zoogirl / Ann says it may be from the 50's or early 60's but that's just a guess.

Thanks for looking friends!

Your Richards is a very interesting pick up Tom. And thanks for your observation on my knives. This thread reminded me of some nice knives I hadn't given much thought to for some time.

OK I guess I'll split this up into two categories:
ALL BLACK knives and BLACK HANDLED knives.
Most of the all black ones are Pacific Rim knives except for the BLACKIE Collins knives.

[knife7knut]

And these are all BLACK HANDLED knives;most are automatic.

Okay I guess I'll jump on this band wagon with a couple of my
favorite "Black knives matter" knives.
First is a Smith & Wesson boot knife. Then a Kershaw liner lock.
And of course a black 9 mm Taurus. My friend there, Thomas Lee
is always prepared.
